Legal Training from Five Paper

Seminars

FivePaper regularly organises seminars for professional firms and public and private sector organisations to help illuminate areas of law. These are accredited by the Law Society and the Bar Council for continuing professional development.

 

Our next seminar is the Spring Housing Conference on Monday 12th April 2010. The conference will address a number of current issues, including Public Law defences, and provide an update of recent developments in Housing law. You’ll be able to choose from a variety of workshops taking place during the day, enabling delegates to consider the practical application of the law in manageable groups.

 

To register for the Conference please download this form, and complete and return it, letting us know how many places you’d like to reserve. The cost per person is £75 + vat for the first two places and £50 + VAT for third and subsequent places. This includes lunch and refreshments, making the day extremely good value.
